I've never seen that particular error -- can you find out what the name
of that error is?  (There's usually a list of error names and messages
in the intro(2) man page.  Failing that, they're usually listed in
/usr/include/sys/errno.h.)

CVS already ignores errors that indicate the directory it's trying to
create already exists, it just doesn't know about this particular one.
